Despite having family members to sponsor them, a group of 20 Chaldean Christians who fled ISIS have been detained for over four months at the Otay
Detention Facility in San Diego. The large Chaldean community in Southern California are unhappy with the unexplained delays and are demanding their
release.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) claim they are undermanned and face a backlog of cases but have offered little to the media about
the prolonged detention of the Chaldean 20.

Mark Arabo, an activist and spokesmen for the local Chaldean community says, “What we do know is that they are being held without a real
reason.”

Arabo has pleaded with the highest levels of government demanding action for the group being held.

“We are protesting, we are talking to the State Department, and the White House and Congress, and we are putting pressure to make sure they
release these twenty people,” he declared to Al Jazeera. Arabo believes the excuses from immigration officials about indefinitely detaining them for
bureaucratic reasons is “hard to believe.”

Arabo pointed out that the men and women in detention have been held too long even by the government’s own standards. The vast majority of
foreign nationals detained or arrested by ICE are released under some form of supervision, according to their own statement.

“They’ve escaped hell. Let’s allow them to reunite with their families,” says Arabo. According to a Los Angeles Times report and an ACLU
attorney in San Diego, detainees held for six months that have not seen a judge are by law required to have a court hearing.

I am for all refugees getting to a place where they can be helped and them going through the same process as everyone else.

Don't think your choice of religion should change that.

You didn't answer my question!

Are you cool with it and feel safe as long as they are vetted by our government before the are allowed in? I added feel safe from the original
question.

It's pretty simple. Yes or No!

Well obviously you were smart enough not to answer because you realized I snared you!

So before I turn in for the night I will explain it to those who might not be onto you and I's game of gotcha!

Your statements prior was that you basically didn't have and issue because the government was going to vet them correct?

Yet you scream and moan at those of us who are mad as hell that our government has chosen to allow those people coming into our country illegally from
our southern border as heartless bastards?

I don't see any of them being vetted! As a matter of fact? Anyone from any country in the world can come into our country thru our southern border
UNVETTED and you defend them!

That is pure hypocrisy that you don't care if anyone comes in thru our southern border illegally but are okay with any refugees coming in as long as
the government vets them!

That's pretty much game, set, and match. But as good as it was the point will be lost or ignored. The arguments change when it comes to feeling
righteous, even if the arguments are hypocritical in the overall views.

Australia will be taking more refugees than the USA and a significant portion will be Christian,and you should hear the howls of protest claiming
'discrimination' by the muslims in response

Screw them. The Christians and other religions are true refugees in every meaning of the word. Muslims should be the ones to make sure those truly
being persecuted get the most aid and assistance getting out of that nightmare. Islam literally has blood on their hands for their religious
intolerance and persecution. History will not judge them kindly. How come we don't hear of any World Court Tribunals for the savagery of ISIS and
their leaders?

Sure they need to be vetted. But until it's proven Christian militas are slaughtering Muslims, it should be pretty easy to vet them. Like it or not,
the bad apples of Islam have tainted all Muslims. Muslims need to clear up the monsters in their midst.

Which shows more ignorance of the situation as muslims are being target the same.
Why do they desert to cut to the front of the line then the people going through the same issue?

And what is ISIS marking them with?

Yeah, that is right, they may go kill other Muslims but they have a "Special" delight with the Christians and make sure they cannot hide. You may not
want to hear it but you know. You don't want to admit it but you know deep down inside.

Enough said.

Go find a Charity or organization that helps refugees that you agree with. At least do that.

Yes we
should have. Why,are you surprised by that?. People being persecuted by others like that need the assistance of the international community. Doesn't
matter the religion or ethnic group, civilized society needs to help in those situations. Once again, African countries with no resources rank low on
totem pole when bad things happen to their citizens.
